“…There are not many studies in the literature evaluating the effect of the use of beta-glucans in skin diseases in dogs. Beynen et al (2011) [ 18 ] developed a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study, with the same type of beta-glucan. For 8 weeks, dogs of several breeds received complete dry food with/without 800 ppm of beta-glucans (16 dogs in control group and 15 dogs in test group) and their clinical signs were evaluated by the owners.…”

“…These chronic diseases are widely represented in the veterinary routine. Atopic dermatitis is the second most prevalent dermatitis in dogs [ 16 ]; osteoarthritis is found in 80% of dogs over eight years of age [ 17 ]; and inflammatory bowel disease is the most common chronic gastrointestinal disease in dogs and cats [ 18 ]. Despite the growing number of research about the positive immunomodulatory effects of beta-glucans, many of those have conflicting results and methodology biases such as the absence of the treatment individualization or homogeneity of experimental groups.…”

The inclusion of beta-glucans in dog and cat food is associated with numerous beneficial effects on the health of these animals. In this regard, there is an effort to elucidate the potential of this nutraceutical in chronic patients. Since there is a lack of a review on the topic, this review article aims to compile and discuss the evidence found to date. Atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and osteoarthritis are diseases of significant clinical relevance in dogs and cats. In general, the pathophysiology of these chronic conditions is related to immune-mediated and inflammatory mechanisms. Therefore, the immunomodulation and anti-inflammatory effects of beta-glucans are highlighted throughout this review. The available information seems to indicate that the studies on beta-glucans’ impact on allergic processes in dogs indicate a reduction in clinical signs in atopic dermatitis cases. Additionally, while beta-glucans show promise as a safe supplement, particularly for osteoarthritis, further clinical trials are imperative, especially in uncontrolled environments. Beta-glucans emerge as a potential nutraceutical offering immune benefits for inflammatory bowel disease patients, although extensive research is required to define its optimal origin, molecular weight, dosage, and specific applications across animals suffering from this disease.

Probiotics offer significant health advantages as they enter the digestive system via diet or water intake, playing a crucial role in enhancing immunity, growth, gastrointestinal microbiota, and feed attribute. The main objective of study to focusing in the impact of Probiotic Functional Feed (PFF) on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed to challenges from Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The investigation aims to analyze the genes linked to immunity, hemato-biochemical indices, and the immunological response in tilapia. PFF is a vital component of fish feed production, providing suitable nutrition for various ages and stages to promote healthy growth. The study comprises five treatments: Negative Control (NC), Positive Control (PC), Rossellomorea marisflavi sp. DAS-SCF02, Agrococcus sp. RKDAS1, and a dual probiotic mix. A total of 150 Nile tilapia juveniles, weighing 2.56 ± 1.26 g, were administered PFF in triplicates. Significant improvements were observed in hematological indices, encompassing white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit (Htc), and blood performance (BP) in probiotic-treated groups compared to control. Biochemical analysis revealed lower levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in fish fed with probiotics, accompanied by increased total protein, albumin, and globulin levels. Furthermore, probiotic-fed fish exhibited heightened blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Immunological assessments demonstrated increased lysozyme activity, intracellular superoxide anion production, reactive nitrogen species synthesis, and myeloperoxidase activity in probiotic-fed groups. Immune gene expression analysis revealed up-regulation of stress response, cytokine signaling, and immune defense-related genes (HSP70, IL-1β, I C3, IFN-α, IFN-γ, GF1, GH, IL-1, and Lyz). In a Vibrio challenge study, probiotic-fed fish exhibited improved survival rates, underscoring the protective effects of probiotics against bacterial infections. Overall, this research underscores the multifaceted benefits of probiotic supplementation in enhancing the health and immunity of tilapia.

Postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH) is a challenging and significant complication that can occur following bariatric and metabolic surgery. Symptoms of PPH are typical of hypoglycemia, such as sweating, weakness, disorientation, palpitation, etc. The complex nature of PPH is essential to achieve accurate diagnosis and effective management. This review aims to give extensive coverage of the intricate nature of PPH common with bariatric and metabolic surgery, outlining its pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic strategies, and treatment options. The study explores various clinical forms and pathogenic mechanisms behind PPH while discussing diagnostic tools like continuous glucose monitoring or mixed meal tolerance tests. Furthermore, it considers possible interventions, including dietary changes, pharmaceutical therapies, and surgeries, to relieve symptoms and improve patient's quality of life. It aims to comprehensively understand how healthcare professionals can effectively manage this disorder for patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgery.
